WordPress has built-in support for multiple authors allowing them to write and edit their posts from the regular admin menus. While access to vital settings is restricted, you may not want them to use your site’s admin menus at all. This is where WP User Frontend comes in handy.

WP User Frontend to lets users create and edit profiles, and submit posts without accessing your site’s backend. It has a depth of functionality for allowing guest authors on your site, and the premium version is especially feature-rich.

The Ajax Multi Upload plugin makes it easy to add Ajax-powered forms to your site. By using Ajax, users can auto upload and submit files through a form without needing to reload the page. This makes for a smoother user experience.

Evaluating the best file upload plugins

The WordPress File Upload plugin is likely best for basic file uploading needs, while Frontend Upload is probably the best choice for allowing users to submit posts and content.

WP User Frontend has more features for letting authors create detailed profiles, and Ajax Multi Upload makes for the fastest, smoothest upload experience. For anyone using Gravity Forms, the Gravity Forms Advanced File Uploader plugin will be a great fit.
